Tracking special nuclear materials (SNM) has never been more important than in the 21st century where information is transferred rapidly around the globe. Tracking SNM is important to nuclear power, weapons, medicine, and science. Neutron and gamma ray detection are the primary methods of detecting SNM. Increased movement and availability of SNM have increased the demand for radiation detection systems beyond the capacity of traditional neutron detection technologies (3He) [Helium three]. Many alternative neutron detection materials are being considered, including 6LiInSe2 [Lithium Indium Diselenide grown with lithium enriched in lithium six] and its derivative 6 …

Materials And Configuration From Nmis Type Neutron Imaging And Gamma Spectroscopy, Alicia Lauren Swift
Masters Theses
The Nuclear Material Identification System (NMIS) was first developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) by the US Department of Energy (DOE) in 1984 for nuclear material control and accountability, and for possible future treaty verification applications by the Office of Nuclear Verification since the mid-1990s. NMIS is being developed into a fieldable form (designated FNMIS) and will incorporate gamma spectroscopy and an information barrier. This project, supported by the US DOE at ORNL, tested a previously developed procedure to determine the configuration of an object with unknown geometry and composition from neutron imaging, induced fission radiation detection, and passive …
